With the first pick in the 2015 NFL draft, the Detroit Lions select Barry Sanders.

That would be one of the best days ever for a Lions fan. How weird would that be though hearing his name over the speakers again once he scores a touch down. I'm sure that would be deja vu for a lot of fans. But seriously, he runs like his dad, cuts like his dad, and jukes like his dad. You can even watch some of his interviews and he even looks and sounds like his dad. He is truly a chip of the old block. After watching a couple plays from his freshman year of high school about a year or two ago, I could tell he was gonna be special just like his dad. You could just tell because he had that tendency to break away from defenders when it didn't look like he could get out of a situation and then a second later, he just makes a nice move and he is gone. Thats what made his dad special and thats what will make him special.

Yeah, he'll probably be no higher than a 4.5-4.6 guy his entire career. By the time he finishes college, though, it wouldn't surprise me to see him between 240-250. He has his dad's little hopstep down to a T.

I could also see him changing positions when he gets to college. Dunno if he'd be down for that though.
